[Spridgets] Carb dashpot oil.

[Leo]

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions!!!  General consensus is pretty
much what I had been thinking is that the float or needle was / is sticking.
Tomorrow I will take them apart on the tops and blow out and clean
everything up and see if it re-occurs.  The carbs were rebuilt by Joe Curto
and only have around 600 miles on them now.  They were rebuilt around 7
years ago (new throttle shafts, floats, linkages re-plated, parkerized,
etc...).. I know, I know...Need to drive it more:)  Have been driving it
lots lately BUT now I need to put it up on jack stands and clean and WAX the
underside along with the motor compartment,... Anyone want to come and
help:)

Leo

Leo, I agree with Kevin. On the H1's the floats will stick, you need to
polish the shaft they ride on, and make sure that the inner side of the
float is clean and smooth.  For the dashpots I use motor oil, if you want
lighter oil use auto tranny oil just check it more often.

Will Marvel Mystery oil work in the dashpots on the HS1's?  Have an issue
with one carb loading up and the oil doesnt show on the plunger rod when I
remove it.  The problem I am experiencing it that  When starting the motor
almost seems like it is only running on two cylinders and after a minute or
so the "other" other cylinders kick in.  After it is running for a couple of
minutes it runs great most of the time.  A few times it starts missing like
it does on initial startup.  Ideas and does the carb sound like the problem?

Thanks
Leo
